Community Meeting Regarding Clark/Diversey
Please join the Park West Community Association (PWCA) and my office at a community meeting to review the proposed redevelopment of 2739-2747 N. Clark Street / 613-629 W. Diversey Parkway, the former Vitamin Shop and adjoining property on Diversey. We will
monitor the discussion, take notes and record your
feedback.
WHAT: Proposed Redevelopment of 2739-2747 N. Clark St. / 613-629 W. Diversey Pkwy
WHO: Hosted by Alderman Michele Smith and Park West Community Association
WHEN: Monday, November 28th at 6:00 pm
WHERE: 2747 N Clark Street (former Vitamin Shop)
The site is three (3) separate parcels containing a combined total of approximately 19,000 square feet of retail space, with a mixture of one and two-story structures. The applicant is proposing a two-story retail structure containing six (6) tenant spaces and 30,000 square feet of commercial space.
The current zoning designation of the parcel is B1-2, and the applicant is seeking a temporary zoning change to a C2-2 classification to construct the new building and preserve existing signage rights that are "grandfathered."
I hope you attend to engage in a direct dialogue with the development team, gain a better understanding of this proposal and obtain answers to any questions the community may have.
